The
pace is quickening now as to who is going to cross the line in the sand.
Who is going to stand and defend the 2nd Amendment against 'enemies in
Washington, D.C. and those of others in State governments sectors? The
'Green Berets' have made their choice, and I had no doubt concerning
their Oath to these united States and 'We the People'. Those who in any way want to water
down or destroy the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights of 'We the People' ARE THE
INTERNAL ENEMIES OF 'WE THE PEOPLE'. Make no mistake about this.
Communism has many faces, and some of those faces include Marxist Jews
like Boxer, Feinstein, Schumer, Pelosi, Obama, Holder and many others who actually think with their pea-brains that they
will pass some kind of papers in Washington, D.C. to disarm 'We the People'. Again,
the battle lines are being drawn, and should any kind of civil war
erupt over this matter ..... I want to remind everyone, that the
punishment for TREASON if found guilty, is to be hung by the neck until dead.

'Special Forces' Take On Domestic Enemies Promoting Gun Control In Letter
More
than 1,100 retired and current Army Special Forces troops, Green
Berets, have put their names to a letter that condemns the efforts by
Washington politicians to restrict in any manner gun ownership,
following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Their 2,900 word letter has been distributed to media outlets and was originally posted at Professionalsoldiers.com.
According to the post at Professionalsoldiers, “1,100 Green Berets
Signed this Letter. We have a list of all their names and unlike any
MSM outlets we can confirm that over 1,100 Green Berets did sign. The
list includes Special Forces Major Generals & Special Forces Command
Sergeants Major down to the lowest ranking “Green Beret”.”
The letter
begins by those citing their oath to ““…support and defend the
Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and
domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same.…”
“We have witnessed the insidious and iniquitous effects of tyranny
and oppression on people all over the world,” the letter continues. “We
and our forebears have embodied and personified our organizational
motto, De Oppresso Liber [To Free the Oppressed], for more than a half
century as we have fought, shed blood, and died in the pursuit of
freedom for the oppressed.”
The letter conveyed the emotions and expression of sympathy from
these brave men. “Like you, we are also loving and caring fathers and
grandfathers,” the letter reads. “Like you, we have been stunned,
horrified, and angered by the tragedies of Columbine, Virginia Tech,
Aurora, Fort Hood, and Sandy Hook; and like you, we are searching for
solutions to the problem of gun-related crimes in our society. Many of
us are educators in our second careers and have a special interest to
find a solution to this problem.”
They continue in the letter to make the case that the term “assault
weapon” and “assault rifle” is a political term, which began to be used
around 1989. Its use has been clear and that is to be used by anti-gun
lobbyists against the Second Amendment.
The letter then makes the case for the differences between the AR-15
and the M4A1. The AR-15 is a rifle that “cosmetically looks like the
M4A1 carbine assault rifle, but it is impossible to configure the AR-15
to be a fully automatic assault rifle. It is a single shot
semi-automatic rifle that can fire between 45 and 60 rounds per minute
depending on the skill of the operator. The M4A1 can fire up to 950
rounds per minute.” The letter doesn’t comment on the use of “bump stocks”
which significantly increase the number of rounds one can put through
an AR-15. In fact, these bump stocks would allow similar operation to
the M4A1 with incredible control over the firearm.
The letter also takes issue with the debate over high capacity
magazines. While we have heard the Left’s (communist) comments that “just a few
seconds of changing magazines could have saved the lives of people.
According to the letter, “As experts in military weapons of all types,
it is our considered opinion that reducing magazine capacity from 30
rounds to 10 rounds will only require an additional 6 -8 seconds to
change two empty 10 round magazines with full magazines. Would an
increase of 6 –8 seconds make any real difference to the outcome in a
mass shooting incident? In our opinion it would not.” The letter even
expressed that to outlaw these would outlaw a class of firearms that are
“in common use” and would be a contravention to the opinion expressed
by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The letter went on to point out the complete and utter failure of the
first “assault weapons ban” that was introduced by the same Dianne
Feinstein that we are dealing with now and their conclusion is
devastating to her position.
When the Federal Assault Weapons Ban became law in 1994, manufacturers began retooling to produce firearms and magazines that were compliant. One of those ban-compliant firearms was the Hi-Point 995, which was sold with ten-round magazines. In 1999, five years into the Federal Assault Weapons Ban, the Columbine High School massacre occurred. One of the perpetrators, Eric Harris, was armed with a Hi-Point 995. Undeterred by the ten-round capacity of his magazines, Harris simply brought more of them: thirteen magazines would be found in the massacre’s aftermath. Harris fired 96 rounds before killing himself.
Supreme Court Justice Story writes concerning the Second Amendment:
„The importance of this article will scarcely be doubted by any persons, who have duly reflected upon the subject. The militia is the natural defense of a free country against sudden foreign invasions, domestic insurrections, and domestic usurpations of power by rulers. It is against sound policy for a free people to keep up large military establishments and standing armies in time of peace, both from the enormous expenses, with which they are attended, and the facile means, which they afford to ambitious and unprincipled rulers, to subvert the government, or trample upon the rights of the people. The right of the citizens to keep and bear arms has justly been considered, as the palladium of the liberties of a republic; since it offers a strong moral check against the usurpation and arbitrary power of rulers; and will generally, even if these are successful in the first instance, enable the people to resist and triumph over them.‟
A Washington Post editorial is cited from September 15, 1994, two
days after the first assault weapons ban was put into place.
purpose:“[N]o one should have any illusions about what was accomplished
[by the ban],” the editorial read. “Assault weapons play a part in only
a small percentage of crime. The provision is mainly symbolic; its
virtue will be if it turns out to be, as hoped, a stepping stone to
broader gun control.”
They finally ask the question, “So why should non-gun owners, a
majority of Americans, care about maintaining the 2nd Amendment right
for citizens to bear arms of any kind?”
Their answer was The Battle of Atehns, TN.
They also cited disarming of citizens throughout history such as with
men like Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. In fact, they even cited the very tyranny of the British government
over our Founding Fathers and it was that tyranny that led them to make
sure the Second Amendment was at the top of the list to guard against
tyranny in our own country.
So what do these men think would be effective? They cited no single
course of action that would solve the problem. However, they did put
forth eight diverse steps that they said should be “undertaken” and
“will require patience.”
First they supported that the Second Amendment in that “A well
regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the
right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”.
Second, they support that State and Local School Boards provide security as they deem necessary and adequate.
In addition, they also support the passing of Assisted Outpatient
Treatment (AOT) laws in every State. AOT is formerly known as
Involuntary Outpatient Commitment (IOC) and allows the courts to order
certain individuals with mental disorders to comply with treatment while
living in the community.
The liberals will love this one. The Special Forces troops support
“the return of firearm safety programs to schools along the lines of the
successful “Eddie the Eagle” program, which can be taught in schools by
Peace Officers or other trained professionals.”
The letter also brought up the issue of gratuitously violent
movies/video games. “War is not a game and should not be “sold” as
entertainment to our children.”
They support the repeal of the Gun Free School Zones Act of 1990. So
far they are with your current author on all these points and remember,
these guys are the ones putting their lives on the line for liberty.
Number Seven in their steps takes a shot at the Obama administration
and points out something that many of us in America, who are awake
clearly see. “We believe that border states should take responsibility
for implementation of border control laws to prevent illegal shipments
of firearms and drugs. Drugs have been illegal in this country for a
long, long time yet the Federal Government manages to seize only an
estimated 10% of this contraband at our borders. Given this dismal
performance record that is misguided and inept (“Fast and Furious”), we
believe that border States will be far more competent at this mission.”
Finally, the letter states that the issue of personal responsibility
for choices and actions should come to the forefront. Then there is a
challenge that all Americans should be able to affirm: “We have a
responsibility to stand by our principles and act in accordance with
them. Our children are watching and they will follow the example we
set.”
The question in my mind is, is this a warning to those who are
attacking the Second Amendment? After all the first thing posed was
these fine men’s oath of office to defend the Constitution against “all
enemies foreign and domestic.”
I salute these brave men who not only have fought against foreign
enemies, but in this letter are taking on the domestic enemies of
America. May God grant victory in this fight!
